    Sermon # 25 - When Will God Answer Our Prayers? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 4, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,969 views

    Why are some of our prayers not answered? What can we learn from the prayer of Jabez? May we learn to pray in a way that honors God so that we can receive answers to our fervent prayers.

    We read in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain. Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, ...read more

    Lost Sheep And Lost Coin

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021
     | 4,588 views

    This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

    Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more

    The Echelon Principle

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,576 views

    If the body of Christ is to function properly, we can’t just have a few members doing all the ministry by themselves, while the rest of the people watch the show. Jethro told Moses he needed to appoint others to help him.

    Our message for this evening is entitled “The Echelon Principle.” I am not going to tell you what an echelon is just yet; however, some of you might already know. I will tell you that it has something to do with playing on the same team, and striving together toward a common goal and purpose. ...read more

    Stress (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jan 12, 2022
     | 3,370 views

    Statistics show over 70 percent of Americans regularly experience stress. This sermon shows some signs of stress and the factors that cause it.

    Opening: A woman took her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup, the doctor said, "Your husband is suffering from a very serious infection brought on by stress." The husband, who had a hearing problem, asked her, "What did he say?" His wife answered, "He ...read more

    Holding On To My Faith Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Gregory Newhouse on Jan 13, 2022
     | 3,518 views

    Trials are a fact of living in this fallen world, so we all need to learn what God’s Word tells us about how to handle them. The problem is, the biblical approach to trials is just plain crazy!

    Trials are a fact of living in this fallen world, so we all need to learn what God’s Word tells us about how to handle them. The problem is, the biblical approach to trials is just plain crazy! Paul says that he glories or rejoices in his tribulations. But it’s not just Paul. James says the same ...read more

    What The Church Should Do With Its Casualties

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022
     | 2,458 views

    Some who would try to convince us that there are contradictions in the Bible, point to Galatians, chapter six, to try to prove their point.

    • Verse 2 says, "Bear ye one another's burdens..." • Verse 5 says, "For every man shall bear his own burden." They err because they do not realize Paul was speaking of two different things. Verse 5 refers to people who, like soldiers, must bear their own ...read more

    Help Me God, I'm Discouraged Series

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 27, 2022
     | 3,972 views

    The Devil has done his work of discouragement for a long time. If you feel discouraged, you are not alone. God's children do get discouraged. But what did Jesus mean when he said that we can have “life more abundantly,” “life to the full?”

    Alba 8-18-13 (Revised 10-23-2022) HELP ME GOD, I'M DISCOURAGED John 10:10 I don’t know if this story about Abraham Lincoln is true or not, but the story is told that Lincoln was surprised one day when a rough looking man drew a revolver and pushed it in his face. "Abe" figured ...read more

    The Authority Of Scripture Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2022
     | 4,452 views

    If we are to understand the divine authority of Scripture, it is important that we understand the way scripture was inspired by God. It is the bedrock of our faith in Christ. Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

    The admiral sailing his flagship on the open seas left his quarters and had gone into the bridge after darkness had fallen. He looked out into the night with his binoculars. A light was coming directly toward them, and they were on a collision course! He gave an order to his crew: send a signal ...read more

    Forgiveness Is A Choice

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,714 views

    Joseph had to choose to forgive his brothers. He saw God's sovereignty in the betrayal, he saw the same nature was in him and he tested their hearts with his brother. He forgave and never brought up the subject again.

    FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE Gen. 45:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: sometimes it’s better not to know so much 1. In France, in the 1790’s, a priest, a lawyer and an engineer were arrested & about to be guillotined. The priest put his head on the block, they pulled the rope and nothing happened. He ...read more

    The Lie: I Did It My Way Series

     | 14,307 views

    "I did it my way" is the battle cry that sums up what so many people feel about their lives. They think this is a great idea... but it isn't. Why not?

    Back in 2010 there’s the true story of a British man named Shawn Murtagh who decided to wear a Halloween costume. To complete the costume he had a sequined top hat he wanted to wear at an angle on his head. But it wouldn’t quite stay on, so instead of attaching the hat to his head with a string, ...read more

    "Would You Like To Get Well?”

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,403 views

    It might seem kind of crazy to ask someone who has been paralyzed for 38 years if he wants to get well but, of course, Jesus never asks a question without good reason. This is an invitation to participate in his miracle.

    Sermon “Would you like to get well?” John 5:1-14 “Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. 2 Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches. 3 Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches. 5 One of the ...read more

    The Spirit Of Holy Warfare

     | 2,206 views

    Today, we consider holy warfare. For this I will direct you to a famous story that William Booth recounts, and is commonly referred to as “What will you do?”

    “You must fight devils, lies, fleshly indulgences, hardships, disappointments, and everything that sets itself up against God, or that is apposed to the living of a holy life, or which threatens the damnation of man. At all risks and consequences, you must fight for God and the salvation of souls.” ...read more

    There so many things going on that can cause fear to seize us. But the whole time, God is right there next to us.

    Opening and Introduction We live in a wild world today, don’t we? There’s a lot of things that can cause us to be uneasy and afraid of how things might turn out. I know I’ve gone through a lot of experiences like that. Many things can make us anxious, and get us concerned, get us worried about ...read more

    Joy To The World

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 12, 2020
     | 4,402 views

    The angel proclaimed ‘good news of great joy.’ Sounds great! But what exactly is this good news? What kind of joy should we experience? Do you have that joy?

    In the lead-up to Christmas this year we’re focusing on four great themes: hope, peace, joy and love. Many churches have Advent candles and they associate these four themes with the first four Advent candles. The fifth candle is for Jesus. The last two Sundays we looked at hope and peace; today ...read more

    Jedidah was a mother who reared the greatest king who ever sat upon the throne of Judah. She planted the seed of a mother's faith, watered it with a mother's tears, fertilized it with a mother’s prayers, and reared a son who saved the nation.
